Big, masculine pinot. Needs a 1-2 hr decant, but, really needs a few more years and I believe I can go another 5+ years easily. Dark and concentrated w black cherry and red berry fruit and beautiful loam and earth flavors, however, all that this wine has to offer is still covered by a nice beam of acidity.

Nice and earthy, with a dense dark core and a bit of muscle. Will hold several years. Not a light wine; more about density and power.

Unusually earthy for a Central californian pinot. Lasted long beyond the 2015 drinking window. Still quite yummy.

Open 2 hours before. Dark fruit with cherry, earthy-berry nose, quiet smoke perhaps.

Earthier nose than usual. Solid but not overly exciting. Flat on palate, little on the backside. Not sure this will get much better with age.
